    One of the main things that drove me out of the Star Wars fandom first was the midi-chlorian-estimating fantasy-football-league-like bullshit that kept going on and on and on about who would win in a fight. It was fucking everywhere and the only thing at the time that came close to being as bazinga in the fandom was the "Grey Jedi" plague where a bunch of "I want cool powers but no harsh labels" jackoffs kept rediscovering space :libertarian-approaching: ideology about how to do anything they want without consequences or even negative perceptions.

    DISCLAIMER: Rogue and/or ex Jedi aren't the same thing as "Grey" Jedi and I think it's downright a moral duty for any comrade with Force powers to resist the liberal space cops and their child kidnapping and indoctrination bullshit to make more liberal space cops to serve a corrupt oligarchy.

      I'll have my own take: Star Wars is cool as hell when you ditch Jedi and turn it into a western.

      And yes, even Jedi can be cool if you turn them into 7 Samurai-styled dirt bag ronin. See Antifa super-soldier Kyle Katarn.
